Alaska Tidal Datum Portal

Unambiguous vertical datums in the coastal environment are critical to the evaluation of natural hazard vulnerability in support of local and regional planning. Appropriate tidal data must be considered in the siting, design, construction, and operations of development projects to ensure protection of human life, property, and the coastal environment.

The development of this site was partially funded with qualified outer continental shelf oil and gas revenues by the Coastal Impact Assistance Program, Fish &amp Wildlife Service, and U.S. Department of the Interior.
